Ep.644: Who Needs Baptism?

New Testament baptisms and the roles they play

Theme Scripture: Luke 12:50

With 2,000 denominations of Christianity, we can be assured that there are many, many ways to view baptism. Are babies supposed to get baptized, or is baptism only for adults? Does baptism actually take away your sins, or is it an important symbol of a conscious decision already made? Is baptism a “no exceptions” requirement to enter the Kingdom of God, or does it show that the Kingdom of God has entered you? Why does the New Testament refer to “John’s baptism” and separately to “Jesus’ baptism”? So many questions, so many perspectives, and so little time!
